Spoke to Dell support, they said they'd replace the Bezel, Back Cover and the Hinge for 5K and they'd do it onsite. So said "What the heck!" and went with them... Thanks for all your advice :hail:

Thanks ryanrulez4ever...the bezel and top cover should take care of the problem? I called Dell, they said they'd charge 5K + 750 to fix it up. Should I go with them? Or can I get it reliably done from aftermarket? How about DIY? Can I get the parts from somewhere? Too may Qs :(

Sorry...camera trouble led to the delay. Below are a few pics of the broken hinge and bezel, hopefully it'd give you the idea of the extend of damage...

Thanks bro! Will take some pictures tonight and post. Even the bezel has broken off...hope I can get that as well.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 which has the infamous hinge problem. One of the hinges came off and the resulting pressure broke the bezel. The laptop itself is functioning fine though the battery is shot. I have since moved to an Asus K53M-X010D but would like to use the Dell as a music PC...

Okay...my Dell Inspiron's hinges finally gave up on me taking most of the bezel with them In the meantime, I got quote for the following lappies - Dell® XPS 15 - Rs.62K Intel® Core® i7-2670QM (2.2GHz) Processor, 4GB Ram, 500GB Hard Disk, Optical DVD Rewriter Drive, 15.6†HD...

Thanks for the inputs... The HP laptops look promising but they have Intel or Radeon GPU. Would that make a lot of difference for me? I am no gamer so do I really need a GPU on steroids??? Nice review JuGGa...very well paced. I checked the model in Flipkart, its around 54K. Any thoughts on...

Any thoughts bros? I really need to pull the trigger in a couple of days...

Hello, I had asked the same Q last year but the plan for buying got postponed. Now I am back in the market and this time I just have to buy one as my Dell Inspiron is literally hanging by half an inch. What's your Budget? < 50K What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? (e.g. web...

Hello, Any lightweight supra-aural options like ATH-ES3? I am looking for something that sits lightly on the ear and has a closed back. Used completely for computer audio. Thanks

Fiio and Nuforce were the two brands I was eyeing. Can you please send me some details on the products/pricing? Thanks!

Awesome product...heard a lot about it! but alas! no budget for it yet. Do you have any of the budget options (<5K) USB DACs available? Cheers!

Hello All, I had earlier posted a question on buying a laptop for my parents and got some great suggestions. Now I am toying with the idea of giving them my Inspiron 1525 and buying a new one for myself. My budget - ~50K (the cheaper the better) Usage - Mostly home use surfing Skyping...

Thanks! Spoke to my folx about the options, they seem to prefer a laptop but I guess it's more technofear than anything. Will introduce them to tabs when they visit me in a month or so, let's see if they take to it.

maybe you have a point...worth a shot but a bit expensive :(

Thanks for all the suggestion guys and sorry for responding so late, was away from the internet for the longest time. iPad is a good choice but keeping in mind that it is for not-so-tech-savvy senior citizens, I would rather stick to a conventional laptop that wont intimidate them. The Toshiba...

Thanks DarkAngel, So I should add around 3-4K to the cost for Windows 7 home basic, right? What do you think of this one? Flipkart.com: Lenovo Essential G Series G565 (59-052400): Computer Very similar spec but with AMD proc and costs about a K less. (not a very huge price diff though) Wish...

Hello, I am thinking of buying a laptop for my parents. Both are on the other side of 60s. Budget - ~25K Primary Usage - Websurfing, Skyping SIze and Weight - Larger the screen the better. >= 15' (or should I look for a smaller screen?). The laptop would mostly be at home but would prefer a...

Hey guys, thanks for all the information this thread has...certainly helps n00bs like me.... I am looking for a 2TB drive for Xtreamer Pro to store all my movies, music and pics. Low heat and reliability are the two main factors. Looking at WD Green, good choice? What are my other options and...
